Addressing Luza in writing, Ai Weiwei explained that the future outlook is “if the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) maintains the same conditions as today”, because “there is no competition between different parties and there is no freedom of speech. there is no independent judiciary, and the state tightly controls the army and police. “
“Hence, [o regime] it can last as long as the CCP wants, “he commented, adding that” what we call civil society never existed in China, and it is impossible for him. “
“Moreover, the CCP does not face any real problems from the international community, because Western companies and Western countries largely want interaction and relations with such an autocratic country for profit – from this point of view, the life of the CCP will be very long. “He insisted.
After listening to the party leaders’ speech today, Ai Weiwei thought that “The most impressive moment was that it was announced that anyone who wants to stop the CCP government or the development of Chinese society will” bang his head and bleed out. “
“This was the part that received the most enthusiastic applause during the performance – we can see that the CCP has made this very clear, and the message for the West, especially for Western countries, is to have no illusions about them.” – he asserted.
“The CCP is a party with 95 million members, nearly 100 million; this party is almost the party of the entire people, as the population of China is 1.4 billion people, [e] its goals are constantly changing, ”said the Chinese artist, summing up the CCP’s 100 years of life.
“In the beginning, the goal was to create a government through a violent revolution and the military – this goal was achieved; In the second stage, the goal was to eliminate the landowning class, which included everyone who had private property, [e] at that time the business owners were shot and this goal was also achieved: the CCP acquired all the wealth of China, ”he explained.
At the next stage, he continued, “In building the country, the CCP wanted to conquer the United Kingdom and the United States – this goal was not achieved at that time, but the Cultural Revolution followed, which lasted ten years.”
“It was an internal political struggle: Mao Zedong, as the leader of the party, achieved his goal, getting rid of everyone who opposed the party from within, but he also put the country on the brink of economic collapse,” he said.
Then, in 1979 and 1980, Deng Xiaoping proposed “reform and opening” – “a policy that continues today, which means that the party has practically abandoned Mao Zedong’s theory of the continuation of the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat.”
“Instead, a new theory of state capitalism was applied: the state continues to control everything about the country’s economy, but it is relatively more relaxed and the economic climate is competitive,” which made it “during this period, China discovered this greatest opportunity,” he said.
“When China opened up, the West wanted access to a huge labor market of 1.4 billion people: the West began to invest feverishly and succeeded, while China, led by PCC, is essentially a giant company that has become the second largest economy. in the world, ”he stressed.
And therefore “we can say that the PCC, despite a number of changes, still retains control over the country,” he concluded.
